As previously reported, IGEL is currently organizing its current and next customer event with a partner in Miami, and is quick to strengthen the station’s reach, among more than 20 other products and announcements going to the market.
It has announced a strategic distribution partnership with Exclusive Networks, a global cybersecurity specialist. The partnership empowers IGEL’s OS as the end-to-end operating system that supports reliability and modern secure access infrastructure.
Klaus Oestermann (pictured), CEO of IGEL Technology, said: “This partnership has an important strategy for our strategy to expand the channel in the future. position, and reduce the area of attack.”
“Our mission is to help partners deliver measurable security results and a consistent, comprehensive level of cyber security to all types of customers in different geographies,” said Jason Beal, president of Exclusive Networks, North America. “IGEL adds a first-of-its-kind security solution to our portfolio. Combined with Exclusive Networks’ CyberLAB, we can help partners validate integrated solutions and benchmark tools with confidence.”
Under the partnership, Exclusive Networks will distribute IGEL along with its portfolio of cybersecurity solutions. This enables solution providers to design architectures that bring secure access to a wide range of environments, including SaaS, DaaS, VDI, secure enterprise browsers, and OT use cases.
In CyberLAB, partners can see how IGEL’s secure endpoint OS platform works as a killer plane in SASE, ZTNA, enterprise browser, and secure SaaS access architectures. CyberLAB provides partners with proven interoperability, strategic transparency, and operational consistency, thereby shortening the path from testing to repeatable deployment, the partners said.
Now & Next, IGEL has also announced an expanded partnership with vendor Omnissa, with three new initiatives aimed at helping organizations deploy and manage secure endpoints faster, improve stability for critical healthcare operations, and improve digital employee experience across endpoints and computing environments.
As businesses manage the complexity of hybrid operations and continue to shift to trustless architectures, IGEL and Omnissa say they are deepening their commitment to help customers improve productivity and reduce risk by enabling “fast, seamless and secure access” to critical applications and data, especially in the regulated industry.
“Our partnership with Omnissa continues to focus on practical results for customers, helping them reach productivity faster, work more safely, and support critical work processes in high-impact areas like healthcare,” said Klaus Oestermann of IGEL. “Through these initiatives, we are expanding our collaboration beyond the integration of technology into shared services, resilience planning, and the next generation of sports visibility.”
“Our partnership with IGEL continues to grow,” said Brian Link, product CTO and head of the Omnissa platform. “Together, we’re helping customers deploy secure endpoints and desktops faster, boost the performance of mission-critical processes, and gain deeper visibility into the digital workplace.”
Affiliate customers will benefit from three new plans:
-IGEL Insights and Omnissa Intelligence Integration (Preview). Looking ahead, IGEL and Omnissa are collaborating on the integration between IGEL Insights and Omnissa Intelligence to provide deep, unified visibility into device health, performance and security, supporting faster troubleshooting and improved management experience. The merger is expected later this year.
-IGEL Accelerator Services Program. The new IGEL services program is compatible with the Omnissa Horizon Accelerator to help customers quickly deploy and manage the IGEL OS and Omnissa solutions. The program is designed to facilitate life cycle management and accelerate production time.
-Isolated Healthcare Recovery Environment (IRE) for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR). IGEL and Omnissa’s healthcare teams are collaborating on a system designed to help healthcare organizations support clinical operations during downtime events, including cyber incidents. This effort focuses on enabling nurses to work with full client functionality (not just the browser) during shutdown, leveraging IGEL capabilities such as dual boot and UD Pocket.
IGEL has also strengthened its relationship with key partner Microsoft. Both announced the availability of new reference designs. Organizations provide organizations with audited architecture methods for providing secure access to Windows 365 and Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop from IGEL devices, giving customers “confidence” that the architecture is coordinated between IGEL and Microsoft.
Designed for environments with high security, availability and operational requirements, the architecture helps organizations reduce architectural risk and accelerate the deployment of secure digital workspaces across healthcare, government and enterprise applications, we were told.
While threats can appear anywhere in the IT environment, endpoints remain among the most frequently exposed parts of the digital workplace. Reference architecture addresses this risk with immutable design, centralized policy management, and local data elimination, helping organizations reduce exposure before threats can affect users or operations. The architecture supports well-known common outcomes such as continuous authentication, access to limited opportunities, and absolute trust reduction.
“For the health care, government and contact center environment, minimizing risk is ultimately important,” said Oestermann. “By integrating IGEL’s fixed endpoint OS and Adaptive Secure Desktop with Windows 365 and Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop, these reference frameworks provide organizations with clear guidance for delivering secure and resilient digital workplaces.”
“Our partnership with IGEL provides customers with a clear strategic direction for delivering secure cloud PCs and virtual machines,” said Phil Gerity, product manager of the partner group at Microsoft. “Together, we help organizations deploy Windows 365 and Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop with greater confidence from cloud to edge.”
To support implementation, IGEL is developing a Unified Reference Architecture Enablement Suite, including delivery guides and implementation playbooks, to help organizations go from design to successful deployment.
Reference builds for Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop are now available. Organizations can download the plans by visiting www.igel.com/microsoft.
